4pocket and personal use forholding tobacco in granular form, cigarette papers, matches and the like, and has for its object the provision of a device of the character set forth which shall be compact, ornamental and especially adapted for the uses to which it is to be put.

lith the foregoing and other Objects in view as will from time to time appear hereinafter this invention consists in the peculiar construction of a combination receptacleas described in the following specifcation and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings illustrating the preferred embodiment of this invention, and in which like reference characters indicate the same parts Wherever used,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the receptacle.;

Fig. is a longitudinal section 'there through and Fig. 3 is a section on line A3 3 of Fig. 2. The device comprises a casing 4 suitably curved to fit t-he pocket and provided with a centrally disposed partition 5 yforming a compartment 6 andaI second compartment 7 which latter is divided by a partition 8 into a pocket 9 having a bottom 10 and adapted to contain matches 11 and a space 12 for the reception of a book of cigarette papers or the like designated bythe numeral 13.

Both the pocket 9 and the paper holding space 12 are open at their upper ends for the removal of the contents thereof, a cover 14 hinged at 15 and having a catch 16 adapted to engage a iangell? being provided to protect the matches, etc., when the device is not in use and to liev Hush with the outer wall of the casing 4 to present an unbroken appearance. Should it be desired to use the cigarette papers, the book 13 may be withdrawn upwardly from its receptacle 12, the cover 14 having been previously raised for the purpose,

The compartment 6 has an upper wall 18 carrying a threaded open extension 19 provided `with a dispensing cap 2 0 of any suitable type.

A vertical partition21 extends upwardly from the wall 18 and is ofthe same height- Aas the pa-rtitionto which it is joined byv an extension 22 of thefcasing 4, a hinge 23 being mounted thereon to carry a second cover 24 similar to the cover 14 and adapted to inclose the cap 20, the cover 24 having a catch 25 adapted to engage a. keeper 26 on a flange 27 upon the wall 18 and to lie ushwith the casing wall 4.

It will be seen by the construction above described a receptacle is provided which forms a combination device for the holding of smokers essentials in such a'manner as to fit the pocket of the user.

As many changes couldbe made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of my invention could be made, without departing from the scope thereof it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in al limiting sense.

Having thus described my invention what .Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- In a device of the characterset forth the combinationy with a casing, of av vertical transverse partition extending from the top to the bottom thereof, a horizontal vpartition provided with a filling opening extending from .said first named partition, a second vertical partition on said horizontal partition and parallel with said first vertical partition, a pivoted closure on each of said vertical partitions, a'longitudinal vertical partition extending at right angles to said first vertical partition and a second horizontal partition connecting said third vertical partition and the wall ofl the casing.I

, In testimony whereof I affix my signature inpresence of two Witnesses.
